Psalm 140-142
Maori Bible
140 Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. He himene na Rawiri. Whakaorangia ahau, e Ihowa, i te tangata kino: araia atu i ahau te tangata tutu:
2 E whakaaro kino nei i o ratou ngakau: e whakamine nei i a ratou i nga wa katoa ki te whawhai.
3 Kua whakakoia to ratou arero, ano he nakahi: kei raro i o ratou ngutu te wai whakamate o te neke. (Hera.
4 Tiakina ahau, e Ihowa, i nga ringa o te hunga kino: araia atu i ahau te tangata tutu, kua mea nei kia tutea oku hikoinga.
5 Kua huna e te hunga whakakake te mahanga moku, me nga aho; kua horahia e ratou he kupenga ki te taha o te ara: kua whakapikoa e ratou he rore moku. (Hera.
6 I mea ahau ki a Ihowa, Ko koe toku Atua: whakarongo, e Ihowa, ki toku reo inoi.
7 E Ihowa, e te Ariki, e te kaha o toku whakaoranga, nau i hipoki toku upoko i te ra o te tatauranga.
8 Aua e whakaaetia, e Ihowa, nga hiahia o te tangata kino: kei taea tona whakaaro koroke; kei whakakake ratou. (Hera.
9 Tena ko te upoko o te hunga e whakapae nei i ahau, kia hipokina ratou e te kino o o ratou ngutu.
10 Kia taka he waro mura ki runga ki a ratou: kia panga ratou ki te ahi, ki roto ki nga poka hohonu, kei whakatika ake ano ratou.
11 E kore te tangata korero kino e whakapumautia ki runga ki te whenua: ma te kino e aruaru te tangata tutu, kia turakina atu ia ki raro.
12 E matau ana ano ahau ma Ihowa e tohe te whakawa a te tangata e tukinotia ana, te mea hoki e rite ana ma nga rawakore.
13 He pono ka whakawhetai te hunga pai ki tou ingoa: ka noho te hunga tika ki tou aroaro.
141 He himene na Rawiri. E Ihowa, kua tangi nei ahau ki a koe; hohoro mai ki ahau: whakarongo ki toku reo ua karanga ahau ki a koe.
2 Kia whakatikaia taku inoi ki tou aroaro, hei whakakakara; te toronga atu hoki o oku ringa ano ko te whakahere o te ahiahi.
3 Homai he kaitiaki mo toku mangai, e Ihowa: tiakina te kuwaha o oku ngutu.
4 Kaua e whakaangahia toku ngakau ki te mea kino, ki te mahi i nga mahi hianga i roto i nga kaimahi i te kino: kaua ano ahau e kai i a ratou mea papai.
5 Ma te tangata tika ahau e patu: he mahi aroha tena; mana ahau e riri; he hinu tena ki runga ki te upoko; kaua ia e paopaongia e toku upoko: ahakoa hoki i roto i to ratou kino ka inoi tonu ahau.
6 E turakina ana o ratou kaiwhakawa ki te taha o te kohatu; a ka rongo ratou i aku kupu; he reka hoki.
7 Pera i tetahi e haehae ana, e wawahi ana i te whenua, e titaritaria ana o matou wheua ki te waha o te reinga.
8 Otiia e tau ana oku kanohi, e Ihowa, e te Ariki, ki a koe: ko koe toku whakawhirinakitanga; kaua toku wairua e waiho pani.
9 Tiakina ahau kei mau i nga mahanga i whakatakotoria e ratou moku, i nga rore hoki a nga kaimahi i te kino.
10 Kia taka te hunga kino ki roto ki a ratou kupenga ano: ko ahau ia kia mawhiti.
142 He Makiri na Rawiri; he inoi i a ia i roto i te ana. He karanga ta toku reo ki a Ihowa; he inoi ta toku reo ki a Ihowa.
2 Horahia ana taku inoi ki tona aroaro; whakaaturia ana e ahau toku mate ki tona aroaro.
3 I te ngaromanga o toku wairua i roto i ahau i matau koe ki toku ara: kua whakatakotoria pukutia e ratou te mahanga moku i te ara i haere ai ahau.
4 Titiro ki toku taha matau, kia kite; kahore hoki tetahi tangata e mohio ana ki ahau; kahore he piringa moku; kahore tetahi e mahara ana ki toku wairua.
5 I karanga ahau ki a koe, e Ihowa: i mea, Ko koe toku piringa, toku wahi i te whenua o te hunga ora.
6 Tahuri mai ki taku karanga: kua whakaititia rawatia hoki ahau: whakaorangia ahau i oku kaitukino: he kaha rawa hoki ratou i ahau.
7 Whakaputaina toku wairua i te herehere, kia whakamoemiti ai ahau ki tou ingoa: ka karapotia ahau e te hunga tika; nou ka atawhai nei i ahau.
